News: Eliza on TV, Upcoming Events, and Our Favorite “How To” Articles
Eliza was on TV Wednesday doing a foraging recipe demonstration (involving a failed attempt to use a hammer) and talking about a couple things happening this weekend with Grow Journey and the Swamp Rabbit Cafe & Grocery’s Holiday Flea Market on Saturday from 11am – 3pm. If you’d like to see Eliza’s segment during Wednesday’s Studio 62 on the CW channel, here’s the video (may not load immediately):
The holiday flea is free to attend and there will be local vendors from all over the upstate. Eliza and Nathaniel will be at the Grow Journey booth selling variety seed packets and gift subscriptions from their fantastic organic & heirloom seed-of-the-month club, complete with expert assistance to make sure your thumb turns green.
